From the archives: Opera Performance
I wanted to share an article that I scanned. You might know the s2000 from Gran Turismo 4; it's what initially drew me to buying this particular issue of Sport Compact Car. It is quite possibly one of the most hardcore versions of any modified car ever. Utilizing dry carbon bodywork and extreme weight loss modifications, the love and care put into the Opera modified cars is undeniable. Take a peek into the awe inducing meticulous work that defines Opera Performance.

Man I'm dated, I remember reading that article when it came out <nostalgia>.

I remember reading it as well. Hardcore all the way! I can't imagine what it'd cost to replicate, due not only to the cost of new body panels in CF and such but also the huge amount of labour and custom work on the car to lighten the chassis.

And re-engineering the suspension geometry.
